Thirty Fifth Regt. N.C.T
Camp near Petersburg Jany 14th /63
Dear Emmy
I have delayed writing you so long that I confess dear Emmy you would have a right to think I never did intend to write you but you know by my letters to Mother and Father that we have not been permanently situated for any time since we first left this place on the 27th of last August and in fact ever since the battle of Sharpsburg Sept. 17 writing materials have been scarce and so almost imposable to get that you must and I am confident receive that as part of my excuse and even now I am waiting orders to move and am liable at any time to be interrupted in what I am doing and be ordered off on some extra duty.
I cannot I don�t think write what will be more interesting to you than to give you a summary of the campaign and relate more particularly those things that have occurred that I know will be of interest to you.
On the first of September /62 we commenced our grand march for Maryland and marching without intermission reached the Potomac river on the 7th about 10 AM. It was here about a mile
